...Jacques Ellul once said that “modern technology has become a total phenomenon for civilization, the defining force of a new social order in which efficiency is no longer an option but a necessity imposed on all human activity”. With the help of technology the way management does things has become increasingly different. Management is able to reach far beyond its geographical borders, which enables companies to make more cost effective decisions. Technology also inspires management to become more innovative to keep with the ever demanding and changing times of modern day society. With innovation comes the ability to connect with customers and other businesses faster and easier. When things are easier and faster they become more efficient, helping management success. In the 2005 documentary film by Sonali Gulati Nalini by Day, Nancy by Night, Gulati showcases how United States companies such as Dell Computers and Capital One, along with other Fortune 500 companies, outsource by using technology to collaborate beyond geographical borders. If it was not for technologies the management of these companies would not be able to capitalize on how cost efficient it is to collaborate with companies in other countries. The medium pay for a telemarketer in the United States in 2013 was about $10.87 per hour (Telemarketer 2015). While the telemarketers shown in the documentary make only $7.00 a day, this saves management and companies an average of $79.96 a day for one employee who works a...

...Technology Management is set of management disciplines that allows organizations to manage their technological fundamentals to create competitive advantage. Typical concepts used in technology management are technology strategy (a logic or role of technology in organization), technology forecasting (identification of possible relevant technologies for the organization, possibly through technology scouting), technology roadmapping (mapping technologies to business and market needs), technology project portfolio ( a set of projects under development) and technology portfolio (a set of technologies in use). The role of the technology management function in an organization is to understand the value of certain technology for the organization. Continuous development of technology is valuable as long as there is a value for the customer and therefore the technology management function in an organization should be able to argue when to invest on technology development and when to withdraw. Technology Management can also be defined as the integrated planning, design, optimization, operation and control of technological products, processes and services, a better definition would be the management of the use of technology for human advantage. The Association of Technology, Management, and Applied Engineering defines Technology Management as the field concerned with the supervision of personnel across the technical spectrum and a wide variety of complex technological systems.

...technological change on human resources. Since it is known that the higher level technologies tend to be more complex, which results in a requirement for a highly skilled workforce to maintain and sustain, the cost to hire and retain these experts is rising at a pace that is equal or faster than the technologies themselves. The required constant training costs to keep these human resources up to date with the existing and even emerging technologies can put a huge dent in the organizations bottom line. This level of expertise also makes these human resources become a demanded commodity by your competitors, which unless they are contractually bound to remain with your organization, could be a real reason to drastically interrupt your developments until a suitable replacement is acquired. Another effect is that with the attempt to keep pace with these fast paced technological changes, your skilled staff will require constant updated or replaced tools (computers, analytical software, and other financial driven requirements) to enable them to carry out their daily requirements. The positive side to investing in and retaining this level of human resources is that they can then be empowered to make decisions to improve production and other areas that will reduce the response time related to competitor’s threats. With a workforce that possesses this high level of skill sets, it is paramount that management is able to harness and fully utilize all of the capabilities of these skilled human...

...making payments. We had a bad time in the Accounts / Finance Department and the balances outstanding grew by the month. I had proposed to the management that unless we do some change in the way we are dealing with the problem of Receivables, we would in no time be severely hit. b) The process in planning the change was to: i. To get the entire (detailed - transaction wise) data of customers whose balance was showing outstanding in our books for long ii. Set a team of two to go through it exhaustively so that all transactions recorded in our books are taken into account iii. Arrange a meeting with the concerned customer and reconcile their balances with ours iv. Arrive at a balance acceptable to both ourselves and the customer c) The human challenges faced were: i. Not every person in the management were keen to get it done as they thought that since everything was going smoothly in an overall manner, we should not dig for trouble. ii. The people selected to do the job under my leadership were skeptical about the issue and thought that it was an extra workload for them. iii. Some of the customers were not willing to sit for reconciliation since they said they did not have time for it and also considered only their balance to be correct d) My learnings were: i. There can be many people in the management who lived a life of complacency and they would not like to “waste” time and energy in an issue unless it is burning. A little perseverance...

Research was about a journal by spotlight on Cultural approaches to management. It had been discuss with Manfred Kets de Vries in conversation with Sarah Powell. The topic was about the interface between psychoanalysis/dynamic psychiatry and management, distinct organizational types, cultural approaches to management and life balance. He put two traditional reactions to a psychoanalyst: one group of people is drawn to them, hoping that the psychoanalyst or psychotherapist will bring salvation; the other avoids them fearing that such people can “see” through them. As a consultant when he start investigates an organization that is sick, the problem arises from the fact that behind every organization lays the shadow founder. When he go into an organization, he always looks at the dominant coalition and studies the personalities of the key players. He will find the “pain” both inside and outside the system – i:e double whammy. He mentions about how leadership styles differ according to culture in that country such as consensus style and more charismatic...

...Case Write-up (Case 1) 1. Problem Analysis Providian Trust is a trust company that is a leader in the financial and fiduciary service which locates in New York with total 216 branches. Recently, there was an extraordinary difference of opinion between Providian Trust’s internal auditor and the leaders of a major information technology project in the trust division. After reading the case, I found below problems: * Lack of effective communication and engagement with the frontline trust officer and clients for better cooperation * Lack of internal alignment, internal centralized control and team cooperation * Lack of experience * Lack of realistic project deadline for efficient * Failure to fully implement the UAT test * Training was not provided properly * Fear of change and technology 2. Recommendation * Enhance communication among all divisions and parties of the company and get the people who are going to be affected by the change to be involve in it * Extend deadlines of the project and clear deadline to set the correct expectation * Senior management’s engagement and participation is very important and should be trigger at the very early stage. * Implement a full testing of the project * Provide the proper training to users 3.

...Technology Manager Research Assignment Due August 30, 2012 1. Using an employment site (e.g., monster.com), what types of jobs do you find when you research the term “technology manager”? * On careerbuilder.com I found several jobs that popped up. Most jobs had to do with information systems, but there are also ones that have to do with project management. 2. Are these the types of jobs you expected to find and why? * These are close to the jobs I was expecting. I know a lot of people think that Tech management has to with information systems and project management. That we deal with technology systems. IT work seems to be the general idea of what people think tech management has to do with. However it seems that there are the few of them that are in different fields that deal with just management. 3. How would you define” technology manager” based on what you found? * I would consider technology manager has to do with a combination of technology work and project management. But I believe Technology Manager has a lot more to o with being able to help a business out with all the technologies it uses and how to incorporate it better into the work a business does. 4. How is this definition similar to the article “What is a Technology Manager”? * It is close to the definition from the article.

...Project Outline: Product line Management in High‐Tech Industries Introduction It has been estimated that in the field of high-tech industry, characterized by continuous technological innovation as well as ever changing customer expectations, continuous technology innovation is imperative for sustainable competitive advantage. The high speed of new technologies discovered implies that non-inclusion of appropriate new age products can prove extremely damaging to both established as well as new companies. At the same time, adoption of platforms which are not completely adopted by the industry or investment in impractical technology can also result in unfavorable results. Thus it is imperative thatall High-Tech companies try to find the correct synergy between technological evolutions, their own resources and the demands in the market. An effective Product Line Management Strategy will help them achieve the same.

...Technology and innovation are essential for delivering value to organizations and the marketplace. Technology management is the discipline whereby all of the technology resources of a business are managed in accordance with its needs and priorities. As long as there is a value for the customer, continuous development of technology is valuable. Unfortunately, there are some businesses that have poor technology management. One of the reasons businesses have poor technology management is managers are afraid of losing their authority. This in return increases the resistance to technology. Advanced technologies often take away the power, position, and esteem of certain employees. The reason for poor technology management in my department is caused by limited resources related to training. Several employees are required to use new technology, but they have not had the proper training with the new technology. Another reason for poor technology management is employees fear that the new technology will lead to a breakdown of interpersonal relations. There are several strategies and techniques that can be used to improve technology management. First, there is a need to communicate with the employees on the benefits the business will reap by properly managing technology. Employees should be made aware that technology will give the business a competitive edge when it comes to competitors. Furthermore, employees and managers should know that the adoption of technology...
